Comparative physiology

the cooling of brain temperature below body core temperature, for example via the carotid rete, which in arid-zone mammals helps save water by easing evaporative cooling.

In comparative physiology, selective brain cooling refers to the cooling of brain temperature below body core temperature, for example via the carotid rete, which in arid-zone mammals helps save water by easing evaporative cooling. This meaning comes from Mitchell (2002) in Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.[1]
